jlgaddis: Anyone happen to know if Garry does some kind of limiting on inbound SSH connections?
(number of connections, that is, not throughput) DaCa: jlgaddis: more than 10 SYN's on port 22 per minute == blocks your IP for a minute jlgaddis: That's what I'm running into then, just wanted to verify. Thanks. ***: Escable has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)

ziyourenxiang has joined #arpnetworks RandalSchwartz: simplest solution to that: don't run ssh on 22
or 2222 :)
I put mine on 443. I get about one probe every three weeks, mostly looking for https weakness
and there are other reasons to run sshd on 443 DaCa: corporate firewall piercing? RandalSchwartz: indeed.
you should see all the crazy configs in my .ssh/config over the years
many of them involving "socat"
ProxyCommand socat - SOCKS4:localhost:%h:%p,socksport=9050
ProxyCommand socat STDIO PROXY:wwwgate0.EXAMPLE.COM:blue.stonehenge.com:443,proxyport=1080
socat rocks
like netcat, if you just kept going. :) ***: ziyourenxiang has quit IRC (Quit: ziyourenxiang) ivan-kanis: RandalSchwartz: did you write "Learning Perl" ? RandalSchwartz: Yes. And Programming Perl, and a dozen other ISBNs ivan-kanis: RandalSchwartz: i have it on my bookshelf ;) RandalSchwartz: Many people do, and I'm happy about that.
Not because I make money from those sales, because I do (about $1 before tax)
but because it means people are learning Perl properly, not like some of those other crappy boooks ivan-kanis: hehe i quit perl
i start with shell and the move to python if it gets complex
s/the move/then move RandalSchwartz: well - if Python works better for you, use it.
but Perl is being used more today than in the dot-com boom
very big resurgence ivan-kanis: the thing is
i got a google interview where they ask you to solve a problem with a pen and paper
i keep forgetting perl syntax and flunked RandalSchwartz: I'd say Perl is not for people who aren't using Perl at least a few hours a week ivan-kanis: i think i could have done it with python because the syntax is easier to remember toddf: any language has its rules. if you forget those rules, its not the languages fault. RandalSchwartz: for me, Perl syntax is easier to remember than Python syntax. :) ivan-kanis: well the regexp sucks in python RandalSchwartz: if anything, you can say that Perl is a framework for regexp. :) ivan-kanis: :D
i enjoy hacking in lisp these days... jpalmer: 13:47:10 <RandalSchwartz> I'd say Perl is not for people who aren't using Perl at least a few hours a week <-- probably the #1 reason perl and I don't get along. as a sysadmin, I don't do enough scripting to become proficient at it. so, I still do most of my stuff in /bin/sh
one day though, Python and I will become friends. RandalSchwartz: I wrote the emacs-lisp pretty printer for GNU Emacs.
so every copy of emacs ships with a bit of me. :) ivan-kanis: jpalmer: i did C -> Perl -> Python
jpalmer: and now it's shell because it's ubiqitous RandalSchwartz: RMS called the code "brilliant" the first time he saw it ivan-kanis: RandalSchwartz: cool
RandalSchwartz: i contributed too, my patch made it to the last 23.3 RandalSchwartz: pp.el
the first time I fired up GNUS, and saw "loading pp...", I did a little happy dance ivan-kanis: i have used pp
:D RandalSchwartz: GNUS uses pp to write its internal data back to the storage file ivan-kanis: i am currently hacking a vt100 emulator in elisp RandalSchwartz: yeay - you've used my code. ) ivan-kanis: yup works great

similar story: I wrote the Git module for Capistrano, so every rails project that deploys from a git repo, deploys with a bit of my code ;) mike-burns: Oh, neat! ***: fink has joined #arpnetworks RandalSchwartz: cool!
I'm also listed as a contributor in the GNUS docs for emacs.
although I can't remember now what I actually did. :)
something about changing a yes/no to yes/no/ask
I'm in the GNU Calc manual for suggesting an entire new API for it
and it turns out Org-Mode uses that API.
so indirectly, I helped expand org-mode, even before I had interviewed the guy
(calc-eval ... ) -: jpalmer is only listed as a contributor to apcupsd jpalmer: back when it was a linux-only solution, I ported it to BSD/OS, and FreeBSD
(sounds more glamorous than it was. It was removing a bunch of hard coded paths, and making the config location something you could set. then writing BSD style start/stop scripts. up_the_irons: cool jpalmer: I still get a free APC ups every year. they ship me one.. last year, I got a APC smart ups 1000
actually, it's about a month or so from now when I'll likely get my next one if they continue it.
I really don't know WHY they do.. I only contributed 1 patch, like.. 10 years ago or so, and have never been active in apcupsd other than that. |dream: dude that's so cool
send me your new one? jpalmer: lol up_the_irons: LOL
i'll take it Lefty: yeah man
free UPSes for everyone RandalSchwartz: brown trucks? pilgrimd: I'd have nowhere to park it.
Wow, write code for apcupsd get a free SmartUPS? Schweet. ***: fink has quit IRC (Quit: fink)
pilgrimd has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) RandalSchwartz: $client had a raid controller fail the other day, taking out both mirrors
wouldn't be too bad except (a) it was a many-customer machine
and (b) the backups had been failing for six months
doh!
last I heard, they were running SpinRite on the disk just to see if anything was recoverable.
that's a Bad Day ***: pilgrimd has joined #arpnetworks up_the_irons: wow
suckage RandalSchwartz: makes me wonder how secure my storage here is
do you make sure to put different batch disks into raid pairs?
I hear a lot of problem of raid is people buying 100 disks in the same batch
then pairing them
which of course, doesn't do much to mitigate the risk if they fail simultaneously ***: robotarmy has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
